It's a wrap! Literally! As the 2025 Legislative Session concluded last weekend, the Oregon Pioneer (aka Gold Man) on top of the capitol was wrapped for cleaning and reguilding. This process happens every few decades to make sure the Pioneer is showing his best side. #orpol

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice upholds the freedoms we work to protect every day. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #HonoringOurHeroes #Remembered #Honored

Honoring our heroes at the Oregon Capitol today with the Oregon National Guard 🇺🇸 • F-15 flyover • Newest vehicles & aircraft • Hands-on equipment displays Thank you to all who serve — your courage defends our freedom. #ArmedForcesDay

Happy Mother's Day! Wishing every hardworking mom out there the best. 💐🩷

Our team is decking the halls of the Capitol for the hap-hap-happiest session since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny Kaye!

From our team to your family, happy Turkey Day!

House Republican Leader Jeff Helfrich currently holds a 239 vote lead in House District 52. If he holds the seat, Republicans will stave off a Democratic supermajority in the Oregon House.

The Democratic Party of Oregon is still closely watching the results of state and national races. Tobias Read has a 10-point lead in the Secretary of State race with more than 60% of ballots counted.

Angela Wilhelms from Oregon Business & Industry takes the stage at the Measure 118 watch party to celebrate the defeat of the measure. OBI led the effort to build a statewide coalition against the corporate sales tax.

Whether in the halls of the Capitol or the streets on Halloween. No matter if you are Team Marvel or Team DC, Pac/West will fight for you.

Legislators got a first-hand look at state-of-the-art apprenticeship training equipment at the grand opening of the Architectural Glass and Metal Technician Certification Program training center in Estacada. #apprenticeship

Thanks to Eastern Oregon Mission for putting on another great tournament at @BigRiverGolfCourse! We're proud to be title sponsors as Agape House and Martha's House provide critical resources to families and individuals in the greater Hermiston area.

The committee approved $9 million in grants for high schools, and Ryan is eager to help school districts across the state create vocational career pathways for their students. #CTEMonth

Happy Career Technical Education Month! Pac/West President Ryan Tribbett was recently appointed to the Oregon Department of Education's CTE Revitalization Grant Committee to have a hand in approving grants for Oregon high schools.

While Punxsutawney Phil’s accuracy is questionable, Capitol tradition stipulates if he sees his shadow today, it will be 6 weeks until Republicans provide quorum. #orleg #orpol

@George_Plaven has been writing about natural resources and agriculture in the Pacific Northwest for more than a decade, and we're thrilled to bring that knowledge and experience to our team. Welcome aboard! pwlobby.com/pac-west-lobby…

We had a great time working with Dr. Kristine Medyanik at this month's professional development workshop on better understanding our team dynamic and how to tackle projects as a team. Good conversations, great takeaways, and a lot to think about.

Phil's knowledge of the legislature and expertise with the state budget helps guide our approach and advice, and leads to success for our clients. We're glad to have his leadership and contributions at Pac/West. And a happy birthday, too!
